Body Fitness Part 4: The Neglected Back

Ok..Ok…I have delayed part 4 of our Body Fitness articles a little bit, and many of you have been sending me emails about it.  I promise the next parts will follow soon. I am very happy though to see that several of you are following these posts.

So….Here we go with the 4^th installment of our Body Fitness articles.

Today we will continue our daily exercise program with some very important but often neglected exercises for the back.

 

Our back consists of a complex of several muscles.  While our back is theoretically very strong it is at the same time very sensitive as well.

 

The vertebral column, our spine, which supports the muscles on our back, is already working very hard.  Our sedentary lifestyles and lack of exercise place extra burdens on our back muscles, therefore it is very important to strengthen them with appropriate exercises.

Body Fitness Part 3: Chest exercises for the Perfect Breast

OK ladies, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! 

 

Just a few words before we get started.

The exercise program we will follow should be balanced and have a natural flow to it so that all muscle groups will receive the appropriate exercise. Furthermore, it will allow us to place emphasis in the areas that do require more attention.

The main purpose of our workout is to cause such biological adaptations as to improve our body.  The daily exercise program should combine energizing exercises along with stretching exercises.  The purpose of this is to restore the muscles to their original diameter, and allow the muscles to excrete the lactic acid that is generated during exercise.

Now…The key to success in anything we do in life is patience and perseverance.  The same is true for our exercise program.  No matter how great and carefully chosen the exercises are, unless we stick to it, and follow the program on a regular basis we will not achieve the desired effect we expect.

Body Fitness Part 2: Changeable Variables

Ok…here we go with the second installment of our articles which aims to show you that a better body is not as impossible as it seems, even for those of you who may have never worked out before.  What is important though is that YOU believe that you can do it.

So let us see what are those things that we CAN change about our body.

Weight
Your normal weight depends first of all on YOU (your dietary habits),  and then on your bone structure/ body type.  It is of course ideal to a have a normal and stable weight.  No one person is classified entirely on one body type. We usually have the dominant body type which combines certain features of a second type.  Recognizing which category you fall in, will enable you to better organize your workout program  for better results as far as weight reduction is concerned.  Always in combination of course with a good healthy diet.

Body proportions

As I mentioned, the general appearance of your body is determined by your body type, from the physiology of the muscular system to the overall distribution of fat on your body. The more sleek your body is, the closer you will be to the desired proportions that you will set as your goal.

Body Fitness Part 1: Evaluate Your Body

I know you are anxious to get started but before we get into it, you need to evaluate your body, identify the “defects” and evaluate the improvement margins.

Fitness could be described as the cornerstone for beauty and health. The benefits of being physically fit are immediately reflected in both our outer appearance as well as our psychological mood. Good looks, a sense of confidence, a state of well-being and vitality are all reflected on our face and body as a result of being physically fit.

Our aim is to improve the overall appearance of the body by setting goals within the normal limits that nature allows.  There is certainly room for improvement present, as each body type meets it’s own proportions, determined by the rules of physical harmony. 

After you objectively evaluate your body, you must identify goals that you can implement, and adjust your workout accordingly.

For a Better Body

Hello to all! Today I will begin a rather big task in terms of preparing and blogging my next article series.  This of course will be done in conjunction with blogging other sections for face and body care.

I will start a series of articles whose aim is to show you that being fit, and making the most of your physical assets is not as impossible as it seems, even for those of you who may have never worked out before.  There is one prerequisite though….YOU have to believe that you can do it.

You will set your own goals that will serve as guidelines, and with a little confidence on your part you will be able to achieve it.

As my background is also in physical education, I am happy to share with you some information as to what we can do to make the most of what nature has blessed us with.

So are you ready to get started? Start with the Body Fitness articles that will be posted in 6 or 7 parts
